Meet Hank, Your New Pocket Square Haul-All

Heading out the door without a pocket square today is the suited man’s equivalent of going out without pants, and if that prime pocket real estate is already being used, why not make it do double duty? That’s the idea behind Hank, a new lineup of pocket squares that discreetly hold iPhones, credit cards, cash, even glasses, discreetly under the disguise of some quality silks and cottons. The concept comes from Liam Fayed, one half of GQ’s Best New Menswear Designers in America brand Bespoken, and is based on an archival Turnbull & Asser eyeglass case Fayed found from the ’70s that featured a built in pocket. For the updated version, the designer played up sartorial touches, like a gathered and rounded top, while streamlining the pocket to handle today’s busy man’s essentials. The first drop of the clever creation comes in a go-with-everything array of stripes, denim, plaids, polka dots, and even next season’s biggest pattern, bandana paisley. It’s two stylsh hits in one compact accessory that easily slips into any suit pocket or fuzzy stocking this holiday season.
